Three hundred and sixty lines, the top pick in the industry. In theory, we should not discriminate against any industry. However, there has been a phenomenon in the development of society, that is, young people are going to express delivery, takeaway, Didi, live broadcast, and short video. And so on in the industry. According to the "2019 Corporate Social Responsibility Report" released by Meituan, the total number of riders earning income through Meituan in 2019 reached 3.99 million, a year-on-year increase of 23.3%, and more than 92% of the riders were young under 40. People, if you count Ele.me and other platform riders, then there are at least 6 million young people delivering food across the country.
According to data released by Didi, the number of online car-hailing drivers reached 11.66 million in 2018. The number of drivers must have increased in the past two years. Together with other online car-hailing platform drivers, then the number of online car-hailing drivers nationwide There are at least 20 million people. In addition to food delivery and Didi, the same is true for express delivery, live broadcasting, short video shooting and other industries. There are a large number of young practitioners. Compared with traditional manufacturing, not many young people are willing to do it. Some are born in the 60s, 70s and some 80s. Many people are worried about this generation of young people, but also worried about the country. Do they have a future?
Of course, the reason for this phenomenon is that we cannot blame young people. This is only the inevitable result of economic development. In the past few decades, our secondary industry has developed rapidly, making China the world’s factory, but as everyone’s income With the continuous improvement, the Chinese people's demand for the service industry is getting higher and higher. Only in this context will the emerging service industries such as express delivery, food delivery, Didi, live broadcasting, and short video industries rise.
Secondly, compared with the traditional manufacturing industry, young people prefer these emerging service industries, not only work freely and freely, but also high income. Anyone who has been in the factory knows that the working hours are 10 to 12 hours a day, and overtime may be up to 16 hours. The management is strict and there is no freedom. The most important thing is exhaustion every month. The highest salary is only four or five thousand. And industries such as food delivery, express delivery, Didi, live broadcasting, and short video are more in line with the appetites of contemporary young people. Time is relatively free and there are no major constraints. As long as you work hard to earn more than 10,000, it’s not a dream. A good job earns hundreds of thousands of monthly income. There are many people, which is far easier to make money than traditional manufacturing.
Take-out, express delivery, Didi, live broadcast, short video, etc. are all service industries, which must be done by someone. Compared with those born in the 60s and 70s, young people today are more suitable for these industries. Think about it if they are in their 50s or 60s. Of the middle-aged and elderly people who deliver express delivery and food delivery every day, there are several physical strengths that can keep up. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the contemporary young people in the food delivery, express delivery, Didi, live broadcast, and short video industries. They are just a part of the social division of labor.
Of course young people are engaged in these industries, which is certainly not a good thing. Whether a country has a future depends on young people. Manufacturing is the foundation for a country’s prosperity and strength. The development of science and technology and military also need to rely on manufacturing. Young people are unwilling to join the manufacturing industry. As these people born in the 60s/70s age slowly, the competitiveness of our manufacturing industry will gradually weaken, which will eventually affect the economic development and the country's international status.
Of course, the manufacturing industry must also respect the labor of workers. The time should not be too long, and the time is 12 hours. This will make people overwhelmed and cause serious physical overdrafts, and wages and benefits must be on the original basis. To improve, these people cannot be regarded as cheap labor for squeezing surplus value. Their labor must be respected. They are humans, not machines, so that people can be retained and more people are willing to join the manufacturing industry.
